Translation
Inasmuch as different men call the Eumenides by different names. So other names are judged good by other people, but we prefer to call them Eumenides ["Favoring Ones"] by euphemism instead of Erinnyes ["Furies"].

Ἄλλα δ' ἀλλαχοῦ καλά· παρόσον τὰς Εὐμενίδας ἄλλοι ἄλλως καλοῦσιν. ἄλλα οὖν ὀνόματα παρ' ἄλλοις καλὰ νομίζονται, παρ' ἡμῖν δὲ ταῦτα, τὸ ὀνομάζειν αὐτὰς Εὐμενίδας κατ' εὐφημισμόν, τὰς Ἐριννύας.
